I liked the endding part of the ride with the waterfalls everywhere.

I found this ride very tame for a river rapids ride. Possibly they didn't have all the water elements running since it was still March, but it featured very little rapids and really soaking elements. I was fairly disappointed, and left just a little wet. I'm still trying to find a river rapids like Hydro: Surge at the Pavilion with it's large rapids and various waterfalls.
